“Foods with no brakes.”
Four little words for such a powerful
concept.
What are
foods with no brakes? According to Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, authors of It
Starts With Food and the forces behind the popular “Whole 9” and “Whole 30” concepts, they’re
exactly what they sound like: foods that
you can’t stop eating. Once you start, once you take that first bite, you’re
like an out-of-control bullet train barreling down the track while some
innocent little creature is taking its time crossing those tracks. There is no
stopping you. The end result? Total disaster.

Call them what you want—trigger foods;
gateway drugs…er, foods—we all have
them, and they all translate to the same thing:
foods that we are physically and/or psychologically incapable of eating
in moderation. (Never mind that no one seems to be able to tell us what,
exactly, moderation is.)
